Impacts of Plastic Pollution
Plastic pollution harms wildlife, as animals often ingest or become trapped in plastic waste. It also affects human health through microplastics entering food and water. In addition, plastic damages ecosystems and can take hundreds of years to break down, polluting the environment over time. |

Sea turtles are among the most affected. They often mistake plastic bags for jellyfish, one of their main foods, which can block their digestive system and be fatal.
Seabirds like albatrosses frequently ingest plastic floating on the ocean surface. This can fill their stomachs, leaving no room for real food and leading to starvation.
Whales and dolphins are also vulnerable. Large amounts of plastic have been found in stranded whales, while dolphins can become entangled in plastic waste like nets and packaging. |
